Teaser Tuesdays
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading .
Quote two sentences from the book you're currently reading:
A newspaper man I know, who was stationed in London during the war, says tourists go to England with preconceived notions, so they always find exactly what they go looking for. I told him I'd go looking for the England of English literature, and he said: "Then it's there."
84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff (page 13)
I saw the film of this last week - was very good!
